I think we’d have looked a lot better yesterday with a couple of tweaks to the system - Howson into right wing back where Jones was playing, push Jones further up onto the wing (playing in a 3 with Sporar up top and Watmore on the left) and just have Crooks and Tav in midfield, making it a 3-4-3 as opposed to a 3-5-2.
